Ladder Safety Checklist
Before Climbing
A 30-second check beats a 10-foot fall. Tag out and remove any ladder that fails a line — do not lean it back where someone else will grab it.
Rungs and rails clean, dry, undamaged
Spreaders / rung locks fully engaged
Level, firm footing
4-to-1 angle set (extension ladders)
Three points of contact planned
Overhead checked — 10 ft from any power line
